But the difference is you don't have to...you can just watch the video again. Learning in real-time is one of the few universally transferable skills you can hone in live lectures.
Edited to add:
where you learn something makes a difference in another way too. I'm no psychologist, but I'd argue the location itself gets "built into" what you learn as a part of the memory, and can aid in recall. If you think back to an experience in school, you may find yourself envisioning the room you had your class in, and that vision making it easier to recall some of the things you learned there. The same could be said for associating memories with the people you were with while learning it. "Oh yeah, I always sat next to Sam in that lecture! Remember when...?"
If you do all your learning (and web surfing, and youtube watching, and...) in front of the same computer, at the same desk, you'll have fewer of these associations available to help you recall later in life.
